Loaves of Love

It started at a Chicago family bakery.

Marc learned to bake at Michalski Bakery, his family's shop on the South Side of Chicago, which opened in the late 1910s. The bakery is closed now, but the building is still the family's — they live there. Baking ran in the family, and so does firefighting. His cousin Joe is a firefighter.

Three cousins made Warmly: Marc the baker, Joe the firefighter, and Jesse the builder.
